Setting a Temperature Range

BRYANHERRON — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 17:02:31 GMT

I have a Survey question that is simply the temperature. Our field guys won't be working on days that are -200 degrees or 200 degrees, but I can't figure out how to force there answers to the question between a certain range. How do you do this?

Set up a domain for the question that has a ranged value. You can set the minimum and the maximum.

If you are using Survey123 Connect you could set up a Constraint that would limit the values to be entered.

I can't get the constraint's syntax correct for a range of -20 to 120.

Easy for you to say. hehe

I am not familiar with setting up a domain.

-20 to 120 goodness I wish. We have a range of -40 to 110. But for safety concerns we don't send out crews when it is that cold.

The work our guys do usually can't be done when the ground is frozen, so -20 may be giving them a lot of leeway.

Well at least Gators are not a concern.

In the constraints field try the following: .>-20 and .<120

Yep, I thought I had tried that as well.

I have Gremlins...

That formula should work. It will allow for the a different range to be entered but it will not submit if it is not within the constraint.

Actually, This is my first form and I just learned something..... I had the code correct to start with, but my expectations were incorrect. you can enter anything you want and the form will happily allow you to continue on down the road and only alert you to the error of your ways when you try to submit the form. Is there any way to automatically kick out bad input on the spot?

This understanding will solve other problems I thought I had, hehe.

For the temperature I would probably set it up without any constraints so that the true temperature can be recorded. I would then create additional questions with relevant expressions.
